Lets give it to them in November

We can learn from our enemies. Cindy Sheehan is thinking about running against the hawk Dianne Feinstein in California and I think that we should contest
not only the Republicans but every Democrat in the primaries who does not call for our immediate withdrawal from Iraq and who is not willing to impeach Bush. Someone should run against Nancy Pelosi. She is wrong on both counts. We have to let everyone know what a Progressive is. A progressive is a citizen that can say the word impeachment and mean it, and wants an immediate airlift of our troops out of Iraq.

GOPAC - Taking the helm of GOPAC, Gingrich emphasized spreading ideas and inspiring conservative reform minded citizens through countless campaign
seminars, workbooks, audiotapes and years of grassroots organizing, GOPAC became the Republican Party's pre eminent education and training center. The famous GOPAC tapes, in particular, galvanized Republican candidates and activists.

Many political observers credited GOPAC with being a key catalyist of the Republican Revolution that stormed the nation in 1994, sweeping in the first GOP Congress in four decades and leaving a record number of governorships and statehouses in Republican hands.

Newt Gingrich 1978 speech.

"This party does not need another generation of cautious, prudent, careful, bland, irrelevant, quasi-leaders who are willing as people to drift into positions because nobody else is available. What we really need are people
who are hard-working, energetic, willing to take risks, willing to stand up in a ug,ug, slugfest and match it out with their opponent, and people who
take themselves and saving the country so seriously that when they have to choose between a week on the lake, and a week serving the country they never
worry about which choice they make, because they know tht next spring when there are no campaigns, they can go to the lake. But the only time you have to save the country is between June and November of every other year. It
does take time, it takes a lot of hard work."

We should write our own Contract For America and its first two items should be getting out of Iraq and Impeaching Bush. We can add getting corporation
money out of politics and many other bills to the contract.

We have nine months until November and there should not be an unapposed, Republican, or dirty Democrat that is not taken on in the primary. If this is the case in your area--get down to the registrar of voters and run for something.
